BECOME A TEEN AMBASSADOR
Do you have what it takes to be a youth advocate for tobacco prevention in Texas?
I want to be a leader for my school, community, and state.
I’m passionate about preventing my peers from vaping and preventing people from dying
because of tobacco use.
I enjoy sharing what I know and empowering my friends and peers.
I love getting in front of small and large groups of people to present and lead games.
I like the idea of starring in podcast episodes, educational videos, and virtual summits for my peers to watch.
I’m eager to learn and grow as a person and as a leader.
I like the idea of traveling around Texas to attend trainings and host events with Say What! staff and other Teen Ambassadors.
If you checked all the boxes above, then we want you to apply to become a Say What! Teen Ambassador.
Don’t forget to follow @TxSayWhat on social media.
